Please please please DO NOT READ if you have not and are planning to read Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, under the cut will be spoilers that will truly ruin it for you. Seriously.

OMFG

Let me start off with that.

I could not put the book down. I went to Barnes & Noble and the atmosphere wasn't really all that great. I got stickers though, and I'm glad for that. Not quite sure where I'm going to put them though! When I got the book, I told myself that I was only going to read five or so chapters that night before I went to sleep.

I got around to reading it around 2:30 because I was having an interesting conversation with a friend;I read 11 chapters in three hours. Somehow, I woke up at 10:30 [which is so damn weird in itself because I don't wake up til noon or one usually] and read from then until 7 when I finished it [yesterday].

WOW. Breaking Dawn was fucking amazing. It was intense and crazy!

First of all, I loved the wedding. I hope Stephenie posts pictures on her website of what she imagined Bella's wedding dress to look like. I was glad that Jacob came back but he was very close to ripping Edward's head off. Understandable, of course, but that didn't make me like it any more.

Edward's and Bella's honeymoon was very sweet I thought. At least the beginning of it was. I thought it was so like Edward to try and keep Bella exhausted so that she wouldn't try to have sex with him again. It was hilarious!

Whoa. The whole "I'm pregnant" thing shocked me. I'm the type of person who doesn't like to predict what will happen or have expectations of what should happen. I like to be surprised. And that definately surprised me! Personally, I don't see why people don't like the name Renesmee. I thought it was clever and cute. Of course Bella would want to name her child something after her parents whom she loves so much.

In my opinion, I think we could have done without the whole pregnancy thing, but it actually kinda ended up working out just fine. I'm sure Stephenie could have thought of something different, another problem where the Volturi would have had to step in, not the whole Immortal Child thing. I'm not sure whether I liked that plot line or not.

And then came Jacob's perspective. I wasn't expecting that one at all, but after I was done with that bit, I was very glad that Stephenie included it because it was kinda crucial. It fit in exactly where it should and it showed just how bad Bella looked. If that had been written from Bella's perspective, she would have blown it off. She would have thought it wasn't such a big deal how bad she looked.

I really enjoyed having a look into Jacob's mind and I loved the chapter names for Jacob's "book." Those made me happy :]

I was so happy when Edward finally turned her into a vampire and I loved her ability. I thought it fit her perfectly since no one could do anything with her mind before. It makes total sense now that we know of her "shield" ability.

The Volturi scene was intense. The only thing I didn't really like about it was the fact that now it has been established that they are semi-corrupt, it seems like no one but the Romanians will do or want to do anything about it. It's a huge loose end that hasn't been resolved.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of the different vampires and knowing all of their different abilities. It was kinda refreshing to see other vampires. It was like, even though the story is centralized around the Cullen vampires [and a few others] there's a whole world full of them and their abilities range so much. It was just nice to see something a little different than the Cullens.

I'm very happy with the ending. Bella and Edward have definately deserved their happily ever after. :]

please feel free to AIM me if you want to discuss more or just fangirl with me :D lol

I agree, this book was FUCKING AMAZING! I loved every bit of it! The wedding was beautiful, and I loved the honeymoon and how Edward kept it a surprise, and the FEATHERS! hahaha. I was so shocked to find out she was pregnant, I had an inkling when she was eating so much and started throwing up a lot, but I never believed it cuz I didn't think Edward still had the capability to reproduce.

I was honestly pissed when it switched over to Jacob's "book." I was like NO! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT BELLA SAID TO ROSALIE! I DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT HIS OBSESSING OVER BELLA! But after I got over myself, I actually really enjoyed his part and also found it to be crucial to the story. We never would've gotten all the gory details of the birthing process...*shudder* I chuckled at his chapter titles as well.

I didn't care for Renesmee's name at first, but it grew on me and I couldn't imagine it being anything else. I thought her middle name was cute too, after her two grampas :)

I KNEW that Alice was up to something and would return at just the right moment, I was so excited when she came back! That whole Volturi part had me on the edge of my seat reading as fast I could.

Loved the ending too, I was just sad that it actually ended :( I'll miss my vampires. Can't wait for the movies and Midnight Sun now!!

yeah, the feathers were pretty funny. I'm in the process of rereading it and that bit made me laugh [again]. I never thought that Edward would be able to father children, but hey, it happened! haha

me too actually! but after the bitterness was gone, I was glad that Stephenie did that :]

I liked it from the beginning lol

I totally didn't know when she was coming back, but I really hoped she did. I didn't want her running out to be the last bit about her. so I was super happy when she came back!

me too :[

lol it's okay, you go to the nav bar up top, under journal click customize journal theme. in the side, there's an option for style, click it and under "Images" there's an option where you can put in a url for the background.

Idk if you did already, but please upload it to your photobucket or something lol :]
